What are some general things you guys do to tighten up a loose rear end?

You could go long link on rear, you could drop down 1 hole on camber link at tower , lighter rear swaybar, more rear toe, add .5 of toe at rear knuckle, you could drop down to the lower holes at rear knuckle......... There's more

Does anyone know of any decent priced 1mm offset hubs that fit this car? These HBS67804 state 6.7 offset, but they look like 1mm.

Dropping the camber link on the tower raises roll center and car reacts quicker.

You would want to raise the link for more grip which lowers the roll center, giving the tire more contact in a more vertical position.
Also try less anti squat.

No I've always gained traction by going lower on the tower..........upper holes makes everything move faster. Front and rear. Imagine how much better your car will be now. Lol. Been wrong for awhile!

Two questions

How does a lower Rear tower help?

How do you get .5 degree on rear hub? Blocks just move it up and down.

I felt like the car rotated a noticeable amount better...........and felt more alive.
Your right, but you can flip the pill on the front side of the hub or maybe it's the rear. But it will give you .5 more toe. Something a lot of HB guys don't always tell you

I find the setup sheet and manual to be lacking in this area. Putting the pills pointing in vs out, also slighty affects track width.

You would only flip one pill. You'll notice they are triangle shaped so point the front one in-board and the rear one outboard.

You'll b surprised how many people who run HB don't know that..........

Thanks guys. Just checked our two buggy's and and I had set them up exactly opposite from one another with out realizing it. They handle quite different and I couldn't figure out why. Now I know.

My buggy handles great. Lol
I use my diff oils to help square the buugy up exiting corners under throttle too.

Here's the Drake explaing roll center and how higher on tower gives you grip.
